Max Th. Eckmann (November 9, 1851 – June 22, 1931) was an American politician from New York.

Early life and education

Max Eckmann was born on November 9, 1851, in Berlin, Kingdom of Prussia,[1] the son of Ezekiel Eckmann (1818–1864) and Caroline (Löwenstein) Eckmann (1816–1882). He attended the Jewish Communal School and the Friedrichswerdersches Gymnasium in Berlin.

Immigration and Career

Eckmann emigrated to the United States in 1874 and settled in New York City. On February 18, 1875, he married Marie Slupecki. He was a "manufacturer of novelties" and played an active role in community work. He was one of the organizers of the Independent Order of B'rith Abraham.[2]

Political career

In November 1905, Eckmann was elected on the Municipal Ownership League ticket with Republican endorsement to the New York State Assembly (New York County, 12th District), defeating the incumbent Democrat Edward Rosenstein. Eckmann served in the 129th New York State Legislature in 1906.[3] Rosenstein contested Eckmann's election, accusing him of fraudulent proceedings, but the Assembly Committee on Elections rejected the contest.[4]

On April 7, 1906, during a probe into alleged frauds during the November 1905 election, Benjamin M. Goldberger admitted that Eckmann's M.O.L. nomination petition was a forgery.[5] Eckmann later admitted that he and his five children had fabricated the nomination petition by copying names from a directory and another candidate's petition, writing all the signatures themselves.[6] The trial was held in the Criminal Branch of the New York Supreme Court. Goldberger turned State's evidence, detailing how the petitions were forged.[7] On June 5, 1906, Eckmann pleaded guilty to conspiracy, a misdemeanor.[4] He was fined $500.[8]

Death

Max Eckmann died on June 22, 1931, at his home at 460 Grand Street in Manhattan, from a heart attack.[9]
